Help needed with WAF strategy!
Posted by: JohanR on 05 November 2003
The other day I managed to stumble over a new girlfriend!
For the moment I'm trying my best to keep here out of my house but one day, of course, the invasion will come. And I very much like to keep my HiFi system as is, complete with very special room acoustics (occupying a bedroom that, I'm sure will be argued, could be used to other things, like sleeping in) and ugly M**a tables.
I would also like to have some leaveage for future upgrades.
What to do?
Some ideas of my own.
- Stunn her with the model railroad (it's occupying the other bedroom) first. After that she will be so numbed by the shock that everything else will get through.
- Prepare for future upgrades by buying up a stock of unused Naim boxes for show that later (and secretely) can be turned into working ones. Maybe manufacture something out of chip board to look like DBL:s (with tiny current Royd:s inside).
- Give it up and sell off the HiFi (like a friends friend is doing with his active DBL system in preparation for the upcoming wife), put the model railroad in boxes and hope for the future.
- Play it cool and say "This is me, take it or leave it!".
- Or?

You guys from Edinburgh never learn......the trick is to claim the insurance and then buy it back in the pub for a tenner !!
I have no fears about my kit being stolen - it's all Linn and I have read the many kind remarks about "the Scottish firm" on this forum to be safe that nobody wants it - especially when they can steal an Amstrad !!!
NB : The only time my car has been broken into was in Edinburgh - just for the record.
So do I !
